more abundant. Small lots of Paper 

 Whites are seen in most of the whole- 

 sale stores, held for better prices than 

 the retailers like to pay, but necessary 

 if the grower is to break even with 

 bulbs at this year's cost. 



Cattleyas have shortened up to such 

 an extent that it is difficult to tell the 

 market price. Many of the retail stores 

 have stopped handling cattleyas as a 

 regular item of stock. The same can 

 be said of valley and lilies. All three 

 are too scarce and too high for the 

 average retailer to do much with. There 

 are large supplies of greens, boxwood 

 having come in quantity. Most of the 

 wholesalers note that they are not sell- 

 ing so many greens this year as last. 

 Last season the retailers used more 

 green stuff because flowers were scarce; 

 this season it is the other way around.

Taking the Chicago market as a 

 whole, October was a better month 

 than most of the wholesalers expected.

 as that of last year. In most cases the 

 record is better than that, two or three 

 honses actually reporting increased cut 

 flower sales for the month. Of course 

 such increases were the result of in-

creased supplies of stock, and of secur-

 in the market by means of strong ad-
